Yoda...my memory is not that good. I thought Preece went to MEI, remember? I recall MEI had another decent player other than Prentice, but his name slips my memory. Regardless, I still remember that semi-final. Poor, Tony Poole probably still has nightmares about those 4 traveling calls against him.
Some memorable allstars and MVPs from this Van College website.

Yes, it was Acron Eger. Sad story of a kid with scholarship offers out his ying yang who goes on a Caribbean holiday with his family, only to venture onto a speedboat that was targeted by pirates. He and his family were never seen nor heard of again.
Personally, in today's school environment, I cannot believe the stuff that some coaches get away with...especially in the valley. But then again, basketball parents in the valley are more beligerent than the coaches.
Still, you cannot put on your "teacher's cap" in the morning and tell everyone that they must all behave appropriately and be socially responsible, but then after school put on your "coach's cap" and go against everything you've been preaching earlier in the day. Hypocrites.
I'm off to New West tonight to catch the 3/4 (New West vs St.George's) and 1/2 (McMath vs Kitsilano) game. Apparently, the SG coach (Brian Lee) did his best Rich Chambers/Paul Eberhardt impersonation last night and was ejected for blowing a gasket. Speaking of recruitment...I'm not sure any school can offer what SG's does (so I'm told).
